+ i am a lady. write me a love letter. +

"You are well! You think of me! You will always love me. I believe you: now I am happy. I live again. How impatiently I waited for your letter! I am sure my hands trembled when opening it. My countenance changed; my voice altered. I was just at that moment about to send you a letter expressing my great uneasiness. While you are amusing yourself, you forget how much my heart suffers...

Adieu, my dearest love. My affection for you is ardent and sincere. I would love you even more than I do, if I knew how."

- written to Sophie Volland, Au Grandval, Oct 20, 1759 by Denis Diderot

+ honest opinions on pretty little things. +

i've been playing around with a new flavor in photography.

i've heard some positive, and some "i liked the old better." regardless, what i shoot, paint & write is a direct reflection of my daily life - and yes, this fluctuates greatly. so, this is where i am right now. but that being said, i want to know if this "pretty little things" kick i'm on is worth pursuing, and if i should keep it up. do you enjoy it?

+ when you were young +

It's easy to believe in magic when you're young. Anything you couldn't explain was magic then. It didn't matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible - elves probably more so.
[ charles de lint ]
